Tuesday Toolbox: Allan BrownFebruary 18, 2020Allan Brown has worked in the motorcycle industry most of his life – as a mechanic, race team manager, and most recently a test rider and staff writer for Dirt Rider Magazine. Despite being a west coast guy from Riverside, California, he was also a dedicated GNCC racer last season, making the long trek to our side of the Mississippi for each and every round. His dedication was rewarded with several podium finishes and a class title in the Super Senior A class.
Tuesday Toolbox: Colby GoodmanFebruary 4, 2020Colby Goodman is a nine year old who hails from Olin, North Carolina. Goodman was only going to race a handful of GNCC events int 2019, but when he started winning and keeping up with the front of the pack the family decided to race the whole series. Goodman earned himself the Micro Bike National Championship after earning seven class wins and five micro overall wins throughout the season. This year he will be competing in the 65cc (7-9) class as well and hopes to reel in that championship.
Tuesday Toolbox: Tayla JonesJanuary 28, 2020For the third straight year, Tayla Jones is the motorcycle WXC National Champion. While she was again able to take home the title, a mid-season injury nearly derailed her year and turned the WXC championship into a nail-biter that came down to the last few races. Tayla will be with Husqvarna again this year, racing both the GNCC and Sprint Enduro series, as well as representing Team Australia at the ISDE.
Tuesday Toolbox: Khyler DavisJanuary 21, 2020Khyler Davis won the Micro ATV overall in 2019. The nine-year old from Bolt, West Virginia took home four overall wins this year and rarely finished outside of the top five, even though she spent most of the year starting from the second row in MXC2. This upcoming season will be her third year racing GNCC. She hopes to win another Micro Overall and plans to compete in the Youth Girls class as well – and hopes to someday race WXC. Keep an eye out for Davis, we expect great things out of her!
Tuesday Toolbox: Charlie MullinsJanuary 14, 2020The name Charlie Mullins is familiar to most GNCC fans, but his current exploits might not be. After retiring from professional racing, he found a new passion in bicycle racing. When GNCC started an eMTB racing series, it was a perfect fit. The 33-year old Mullins is the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC National Champion, as well as earning accolades in several other bicycle disciplines.
Tuesday Toolbox: Ashley HendershotJanuary 7, 2020Ashley Hendershot won the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC Women’s National Championship in 2019 and is looking forward to another season of eMTB racing – hopefully with a little more competition this time! Though the 31-year old from Mansfield, Ohio, was definitely a bicycle enthusiast before last year, she had very little racing experience and had actually never ridden an eBike prior to her first GNCC. Her husband is an ATV racer, who also won a title last year in the Vet B class and her son races mountain bikes… so you could say that racing of all kinds is very much a family activity for the Hendershots.
Tuesday Toolbox: John Glauda Jr.December 17, 2019This year’s XC2 champion is John Glauda Jr. He is originally from New Jersey, but like many other GNCC racers, has migrated south and is now living in North Carolina. This is the eighteen-year-old’s second season racing pro. He plans to move up to XC1 next season, because he believes he will progress further than he would defending his XC2 title.
Tuesday Toolbox: Damien HawkinsDecember 3, 2019Damien Hawkins is an up-and-coming racer from Bear Branch, Kentucky. The thirteen-year-old won the YXC1 supermini class title this year, and won six consecutive races. He plans to move up to the adult race next season and compete Schoolboy Senior class. Like many promising young riders, he also hopes to go pro someday.
Tuesday Toolbox: Landon WolfeNovember 26, 2019This year’s 4x4 Pro National Champion is Landon Wolfe, from Glenville, PA. This is the 25-year old’s first pro title. After deciding to retire from the XC1 class and full-time racing in 2017, he happened to borrow a 4x4 at Ironman and pilot it to a 4x4 Pro class win. After that, he rethought his retirement and instead switched classes.
Tuesday Toolbox: Jesse AnsleyNovember 12, 2019Jesse Ansley, from Myakka City, Florida, was able to successfully defend his FMF XC3 125cc Pro-Am National Championship this season. The nineteen-year-old is currently 2-for-2 in his pro racing career. At the season finale in Indiana, Ansley made the move up to XC2 250 Pro and will continue to run that class for the 2020 season.
Tuesday Toolbox: Kailub RussellOctober 29, 2019Despite a shoulder injury forcing him to sit out the last round and pull in early at the Mountaineer, Kailub Russell was able to win his seventh GNCC XC1 title! The 29-year old from Boonville, North Carolina may be finished with GNCCs for the season, but in a matter of days he will be headed to Portugal to represent the USA in the International Six Days Enduro.
Tuesday Toolbox: Walker FowlerOctober 22, 2019Walker Fowler recently wrapped up his fifth-straight GNCC ATV National Championship. Since we have interviewed Walker quite a bit over the years, we decided to ask a little less about his season and a little more about him personally – to give us a chance to get to know the man under the helmet a little better.
